An anonymous reader writes "Ultra-smartphones that react to your moods and televisions that can tell it's you who's watching are in your future as Intel Corp's top technology guru sets his sights on context-aware computing. Chief technology officer Justin Rattner stuffed sensors down his socks at the annual Intel Develop Forum in San Francisco on Wednesday to demonstrate how personal devices will one day offer advice that goes way beyond local restaurants and new songs to download. 'How can we change the relationship so we think of these devices not as devices but as assistants or even companions?' he asked."

Nope, more likely it will call the police when it senses what you want to do to the person on the other end of the line after you just transferred for the fifth time, been on hold for six hours, and have everyone from your boss to the CEO staring you down at your desk.

To hell with that: I want the phone belonging to the asshole driver in front of me, who happens to be having a very involved conversation, all the while driving 15 in a 35mph zone, and splitting the lanes of a two way street to feel *my* emotions. In other words: if the phone had pants, it'd activate vibrate mode and proceed to shit 'em.

If Intel could figure that out, I'd give 'em a high five or something.
